Peltier cooled WB instead of radiator?!

[donny_paycheck]

isnt the vapochill system based on phase change cooling? if it is id get rather impatient waiting for the phase change effect to cool the cpu enough to let me boot up. i had a k6 system that used phase change to cool the cpu (k6-3 450@600 mhz). i bought the system brand new preassembled and i had to switch on the cooling system 30 minutes before i cut on the computer bc it had some sort of safty mechanism that wouldnt let u boot until the cpu was at -30 or below.

Yes, the vapochill holds the motherboard in a constant state of reset until the CPU drops to 0C. This apparently only takes 30 seconds or so for this though. I know Doctor has one so he could tell you more about it. I've asked him about his before myself.

my only experience with this type of system was a few years back so im sure they have gotten better by now
